You're hugely missing the point here, Bill. It is on a listserv, with multiple posters and threaded topics, that judicious editing of backquotes, followed by bottom responses, makes more sense. In one-one one correspondence, as you refer to above, it usually is unnecessary to even include *any* of the backquote, as your correspondent points out. There, top-posting is much less disruptive, and maybe even faster. But it's a royal pain on an e-list. Different methods for different environments - what a concept!
